The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
- Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
- Mother Teresa.
What is admirable about those who have been of great service to humanity is not that they suffered in being of service, but that they found their source of happiness (joy if you prefer) in that service.
